yield: 4-6 servings

cook time: 40 minutes

ingredients

• 1 lb pasta

• 1 block of feta (8oz), but i used about 1 cup of crumbled feta

• 1 cup cherry tomatoes

• 3 tbsp olive oil

• 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp red pepper flakes

• salt and pepper

• basil/parsley (for garnish)

instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a square baking dish with oil and place the feta in the middle of the pan.

2. Slice the cherry tomatoes to make halves and arrange them around the block of feta. Drizzle the tomatoes and feta with olive oil and season with some pepper. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.

3. While the pan is in the oven, cook the pasta according to package directions.

4. After 20-25 minutes, put the oven on low broil or 450°F and cook until the tomatoes and feta are lightly browned (about 5ish minutes).

5. Remove the dish from the oven and add the garlic and red pepper flakes and stir to cook the garlic. Add the cooked pasta and stir to combine. Garnish with basil/parsley and season with salt and pepper.

my review

the pasta was okay. if you like feta cheese, obviously you will really like this because it's primarily composed of feta. i think it could've been better with a mix of cheeses, like half-feta and half-parmesan, or something like that. however this was a really easy recipe, because there wasn't really any sauce-making required. overall, i'd give it a 6/10.
